Autism Pride Symbol

Daniel's submission:

Different font and that would be perfect. Then again, that might be perfect as is...

I might put that cat on a t-shirt. I love it.

I like the idea of creating an autism pride symbol, but I don't think I could contribute an idea because I can't think of anything.

"Aspie isn't short for IGNORANCE" is my personal slogan.

As for the symbol, maybe an "A" inside a brain shape with and infinity underneath?

Anyone who knows who to contact so that thing can be removed?


I like this one: It's showing both "kind" inside the box, and what we have in comment, and how we differ, we use logic where they use feelings. (The flowerthing represent feelings.)

Steal back the puzzle piece.

Come on, a puzzle piece!

Puzzles... the most wonderful mindless show off activity ever.

Though I think I may get a shirt that says this (minus the last line):



Though a simple shirt with a simple puzzle piece on it or several on arms and back is an awesome idea too.

I cannot say that I am particularly proud of my autistic features. In particular being boring and exhaustive in converstaions with other people, being physically clumzy, being a nerd and a bore and an odd number. What kinda pride of Autism should I experience?

Step one: Find out what you're good at.
Step two: Come back and let us know.

The rest of the steps will be presented when you do.

there are some of us who don't know what they're good at, i used to be able to list everything i was good at or enjoyed but now the motivation's gone i can't think of a single thing.

sometimes the negative side of things is the only side some of us can see.

I am not at all creative with things like symbols. What I did like about the ribbon with the puzzle pieces was the colors that were used-primary-red, blue, and yellow. Colors that are associated with things for children. They are the first age group people think of when they hear the word autism.

I don't remember if I read something about exactly how the new symbol would be used.

I think the reason for the ribbon was that practically every other group-Gay Awareness, Breast Cancer, Patriotiac symbols, all used ribbons. Who made money off that puzzle ribbon? Was it Autism Speaks?

No one said it would be easy.

But in a way it is, becouse there is nothing bad that isn't good too.

I'm just reminded of Pac-Man...

I can't stand the puzzle piece. It feels to me like it's just a thing for middle aged women with spectrum children to slap on their bumpers.

Yeah and don't forget that people associate that symbol with curing autism

I'm sure this is an observation that at least someone has made before.... but here goes...

===============

If I was shown a jigsaw puzzle, with a piece missing, I would understand it as representing a a person who is complex, but happens to be missing some minor aspect, which in some way leaves them incomplete.

I could appreciate the idea of research, to find that minor piece that they are missing. Hopefully, it will complete them and make them feel truly whole.

However, just a puzzle piece? We're missing the rest of the whole jigsaw?
